The Hashemi family fled Afghanistan - help them rebuild in Erie

After fleeing Afghanistan, the Hashemi family has arrived in Erie with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Erie
My family left Afghanistan 8 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Erie. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was a pharmacist in Afghanistan, and I'm studying the language every evening. Our daughter and son have started school and are doing well. We want nothing more than to be self-sufficient. This fund will help us through the first six months. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $3,300 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $390 • Language classes and bus passes: $360 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $210 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,340 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Rodrigo
